Which would you choose

1995 triumph sprint
great condition
15k miles
perfect maintenance
recent full service
d&d exhaust
factory hard luggage

2000 triumph sprint rs
salvage title
unknown maint
appears to be in good condition
unknown aftermarket exhaust

The last thing to take into consideration is that the 2000 is only $500 more than the 95

Let me know what you think

Don't deal with salvage titles unless the price is rock bottom.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Before you buy a Triumph, make sure you can easily get parts in your area.  Are you within 100 miles of a stealership?

+1 on the salvage comment.
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

The parts I am not worried about, I have already looked into that.  So...seeing how the resounding answer is not surprising, what are your opinions specifically on the 95 sprint?

It's a Triumph (personal bias here)
It's in great condition (heresay)
It only has 15,000 miles on it (that's 3000/year, that's good, it's being ridden)
Perfect maintenance (it's been well maintained and cared for)
